Mother's Day 2014

 This spring has been, quite literally, amazing. It's been in the 60's and 70's for a few weeks now. At least 3. At least. 

So last Sunday we decided to go hike the Butte as a family. It's kind of a rite of passage here for Alaskans.

 Children look homeless when there's no rain to keep the dust down. And as is true to fashion, I almost had a heart attack 200 times times because this girl does whatever she wants. And doing whatever you want and having no fear is not a good combination when hiking a very large hill. Or baby mountain. I'm thankful that we didn't have to watch her fall off the edge.

This is my son's "bestie". He's moving in June. He's the one I recently wrote about. I feel like we are going to see a lot of him before June 20th comes. 

You can't see our baby, but she's there. On my back hanging out. She was awesome, as usual. 

 

I'm proud of us for making it to the top. And the reward was worth it. 

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!

Today during sharing time in primary the kids were given pieces of paper with a spot to draw their moms and the some pre-written questions and spaces for the answers. This was mine:

This is my Mom. Her name is Mommy She is about 1 years old. She has white eyes and black hair. She weighs about 16 pounds. Her favorite food is bananas. She's smart, she knows all about going on walks. She spends most of her time playing on the computer. Best of all mother likes to stay home and play a game. My mom takes care of me by stop and look both ways. I think my mother is the best int he world because she wants to eat everything. If I could wish for anything in the world for my mother it would be a big dog.

Mr. Cat has walked in on me as I am typing this and poked fun at the fact that it's funny our son says I spend my time on here and I feel the need to get on and write this. Thanks babe. Love you too. Anyway....I hope all you mother's of children here, or waiting, or ones that you will have after here, have a great day!
